Review of Cherokee Grill and Steakhouse

Surprised by all the high ratings. Was super excited to go here but when my salad came it was topped in giant croutons. This was after saying I was celiac and needed no gluten AND he repeated it back to me to check and even reassured me that the entire kitchen gets notified to make sure there aren’t any issues. Someone else brought out the salad and I was immediately disappointed. Our waiter came out a moment later and I let him know there were croutons and I couldn’t have it. He told me it must just be a mess up in the kitchen and mine might be back there or we can make a new one but by then my trust was gone. I let him know I was all set and was going to eat later. He was super apologetic and kind, but it wasn’t something I was willing to risk on vacation (you all know how an accidental glutening can really put a damper on a trip).

My boyfriend (not gluten free) got a steak and he said it wasn’t very good either. Asked for medium and it was extremely well done. Looked tasty tho lol but maybe that was just because I couldn’t eat haha
